8th Ed: 1500 vs Bretonnia
Posted: Fri Jan 04, 2019 6:09 am
Hi Druchii.net, long time no see. About to dust off the old models for my first game in quite a long time, a 1500 point skirmish against my old Bretonnian foe. Here's what I'm planning:
Lords
Supreme Sorceress, Lvl 4, Lore of Metal, Dispel Scroll
Heroes
Master, BSB, Cold One, Great Weapon, Heavy Armor, Sea Dragon Cloak, Shield
Core
5x Dark Riders, Xbox, Shields, Musician
19x Darkshards, Musician, Standard Bearer (no banner)
Special
5x Cold One Knights, FC, Dread Knight with Biting Blade, Banner of Swiftness
20x Executioners of Har Ganeth, FC, Standard of Discipline
Reaper Bolt Thrower
Reaper Bolt Thrower
Rare
5x Doomfire Warlocks
I'm hoping I can force a fight with the Executioners as I am hopeful they can take out some knights and have never run them before, but I worry that my army is a little too focused on two units of infantry with terrible saves. Hoping for some big blasts from the Sorceress and the Doomfire Warlocks to turn the tide, along with good shooting. I think my plan is to bunker up and draw him onto my Executioners with Dark Riders/Warlocks while blasting/shooting away, and hope for a flank charge with the CoK with the Master along for the ride.
Thoughts or concerns?
